The blast...causes a gigantic rearrangement of things. Yes, that's true, but I've never heard it put quite like that.

The original rendition of "How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb".

I've Had A Zillion X-Rays On Machines That Were Not Up To Certification!I've Had Skin Cancer! ( Sun Radiation!)....They Found A Tad Of Cancer On Left Vocal Chord......Cut It Out........Sent Me To Radiation For 36 Days (Overkill!).......A Yr. Later My Voice Stopped Working.....Radiation Burned Me So Bad I Could Never Talk Again.....They Took Out Vocal Box...........DONT TELL ME ABOUT RADIATION........Now I Deal With Stupid People Who Raise Their VOICE!....(Im Not Deaf!).....Or Don't Understand Robotic Voice And Want To Speak For Me........I've Learned In The Long Run.............People Don't Want To Hear Anything But Them Self Talking..!..But Thank God............I Have A Few Friends That Get It!

Most of the film is true, except half way through, it becomes propaganda. You might think what they're saying is laughable, that you know how dangerous radiation is, but its affects are entirely exaggerated. Radiation is harmless until you reach levels of man made proportion, such as the pure metallic form of plutonium or polonium. Although the stuff about the atomic bombs radiation being negligible is total BS, your basically screwed if your too close to one of those explosions, especially due to radiation.

Here is a complete transcription of "Medical Aspects of Nuclear Radiation":

Pretty amusing and alarming detailing of what puportedly Radiation can and cannot do to you. You see, It's not the radiation that won't kill you, it's the blast! So stop worrying about it, go outside 3 minutes after the blast and eat all you want! Don't read those (great) newspaper ads warning about radiation! Don't listen to the radio! And don't worry about your hair, it'll grow back, and besides, you can always wear a toupee! Pretty amazing.

This movie cracks me up! The arguements about how safe and wonderful radiation are is totally ridiculous! There's a part near the end where they talk about how radiation affects your offspring and they go so far as to say that you're better off with a kid enhanced by radiation! There's no way people could've been this naive even in 1950.

This film tries to dispell fear of nuclear radiation by such tactics as portraying the human body as a factory run by pixies, telling you you can always get a toupee if your hair falls out, and informing you that you'll be dead before getting a high enough dose of radiation to make you sterile. The naration is alternately patronizing and clueless, making this a highly amusing example of 50s cold war propaganda.
